I went to leave FB and saw this new bit of information:
Keep in mind that detailed seller ratings aren't anonymous-sellers can see the individual ratings they receive.
I wonder if a new wave of retaliation will occur when sellers see who left them 1 stars?

Last night I put an item up for auction on eBay for the first time in many months. Had to struggle a little to cope with the changes.
At least eBay warns you that the sellers can see the DSRs. I'll have to keep an eye on my seller dashboard and stuff. A lot of it is unfamiliar since I'm only an occasional seller and they love to tinker with their site and change stuff.

If you left a low DSR for a seller, they could get mad and block you and you'd never be able to buy a coin from them again.

- I list the coin at a price commensurate so that weeds out bottom fishers
- I offer no questions asked 14 day return
- I ship everything next day (sometimes same day) USPS Priority with Insurance
- I always pay for shipping (free to the buyer)
- I leave feedback immediately once the buyer paid (that is their only obligation, and I don't hold out my feedback as ransom until they receive the coin, that pisses some buyers like me off).
It's really a simple formula...with maybe two to three hiccups all year.
Just my 10 cents on the topic

That's E-Bay's way of getting people to play their game. They're not the only fish in the sea.
True, but they sure are a whale.
I think it is a risk for buyers.

If you had reason to leave low DSR for a seller, why would you want to buy from them again?

Has the potential to be a good thing.

I do NOT leave feedback until feedback is received 90% of the time.
My DSR appears to be just fine. 5 stars all across. 100% positive.
I just do business as usual.
I don't get any discounts though as I only sell 10 or so items per month.

sellers have been able to find this out for years.
we discussed it here. you can probably find the thread(s) if they werent nuked.
.
That aside, a toolbag buyer usually leaves negative FB before dinging stars anyway- and that's normally why they get blocked by sellers.

Ebay quality of buyers declining.... if blocking buyers solves issue? ...need to look at operations to see if seller ratings are correct .......
I don't care what my DSR ratings are as I do not go after the ebay discount because I charge for shipping because shipping wasn't free the last time I asked for free shipping from the postmaster and he said wtf.
S&H fees used to be part of the DSR's, but no longer. 14-day or longer money-back return policy along with same-day or 1-day handling along with transactions having tracking uploaded within handling time and validated by carrier.

Ok news to me.
As to returns, I have the belief that a auction is an auction and not an approval service, thus I have a no return policy.

Ebay is now holding sellers responsible for the Postal Service's performance! I have 2 dings on my shipping speed due to usps being slow. 1 was shipped same day and the 2nd was available for pick up in time but the buyer waited 3 days tp pick it up!

Sounds good in theory but whether you want to be or not, by listing items on eBay- as long as the buyer pays via PayPal funded by a CC, you are a de facto approval service.

Of course I know that.
But .......
It discourages the guys that get into a bidding wars and gets buyer remorse.
But starting in February buyers input no longer matters. Negative and neutral FB and DSR ratings will no longer matter, and that is the way it should be.
The discounts will only be given based on 3 metrics:
Transactions canceled by the seller
Cases closed without seller resolution
Slow shipping time
Shipments will only be considered late when:
• Tracking shows item was delivered after the estimated delivery date, and there’s no acceptance scan within your stated handling time or there’s no confirmation from the buyer of on-time delivery, or
• Buyer confirms item was delivered after the estimated delivery date, and there’s no acceptance scan within your stated handing time or there’s no delivery confirmation by the estimated delivery date

These really aren't fair at all. The first one, I've had to use when something gets lost in the mail. I refund the buyer and cancel the transaction to get my fees back.
The third one is generally out of my control. I always ship the next day. I had three or four shipments this year take as long as two weeks.
The more things change on ebay, the more they stay the same. Power to the buyer only......

If there is an "acceptance" scan within your designated stated handling time, you're ok, even if it takes 2 weeks for delivery. It's obvious eBay recognizes occasional postal delivery issues. Use eBay's generated shipping label and make sure item is mailed by the date on the label.

This is not true with the new system! I just spoke with ebay about it yesterday. Now is the time for sellers to complain or it will go into force.
It hasn't been there for me the last several times that I left feedback for a seller?
If so why did they do away with it?
